[QUOTE="lonerider, post: 1261011, member: 17455"] My left knee was replaced in June 2013. It was originally injured in a wreck in 1970, operated on in 1971 and the ACL removed. Somehow managed to blow the meniscus out of the joint in the spring of 2013 and didn't have any choice from that point on. I was in the hospital for four days, used a walker from the first day. Started using a cane as soon as I got home and was back to work (mechanic) in two months. Needed pain meds at night to get to sleep, but didn't need them during the day, also used a heating pad for pain relief. When I started riding again, upshifting was painful; adjusting the shift levers on my bikes to an optimum position helped with that. Two plus years later, the only lasting problem is I can't kneel on that knee and likely never will. Getting with good physical therapy ASAP is a must. [/QUOTE]
